Lenovo – a new statement on the software Superfish – Telix.pl

A week ago Superfish Visual Discovery software, pre-installed on Lenovo notebooks to consumers from September 2014., Aroused concern and frustration customers and communities for the security and confidentiality of data.

Lenovo promises safer computers

Together with our partners we have developed tools and updates to antivirus software to eliminate Superfish. The website www.lenovo.com also have provided a tool to automatically remove the software. This situation is in no way related ThinkPad line of laptops, desktops, tablets, smartphones, or the servers and storage devices for businesses.

 Lenovo computer users, which touched this problem, in addition we offer a 6-month subscription to McAfee Live Safe (or 6-month subscription renewal for existing users). For more information on www.lenovo.com be posted within seven days.

 Events of the past week have strengthened our belief that the most important thing for us to be the consumer experience, security and privacy. Consequently significantly reduce the number of preinstalled applications. Our goal is clear: we want to be a leader that offers users a safer computer.

 Start this initiative immediately. Until the release of products with Windows 10, our standard image of the disk will contain only the operating system and related software, and the software required to operate the equipment (for example, special equipment used in our computers, such as 3D camera), security software and applications Lenovo. Thus eliminate software known in the industry as “adware” and “bloatware”. In some countries will be added also some applications traditionally expected by users.

 Lenovo will publish information about all the software pre-installed on our computers, explaining what exactly is each application. We continue to solicit the views of users and industry experts to provide users with the appropriate applications and the best possible experience using a computer.

 These actions are only the beginning – thanks to them our technologies will be better and safer.
